I put my 6 inch dempsey in my new 55 gallon tank that was cycled. He has been in there for about 3 days now and he was happy in the beginning but now he is at the top and stressed/light colored. He will eat frozen brine shrimp but will not eat feeder fish. What is wrong and what should i do?
all my tests were perfect, ph 7.0, amonia, nitrate No3 and No2
I have a dempsey, a pleco and a chocolate catfish

ok so i have 2 guppys who seem very ready to have babies in a heated breeder tank(5 gallons) i separated them and added them this morning.i have been feeding them 2x a day and there temp is at 75.i have fed them a mix of… brine shrimp flakes…spirulina…tropical flakes… and have stress zyme in the tank to help reduce stress. there are no other fish in the tank just them.Is there anything else that i should be doing to help them give birth easily and reduce stress.plus i wanna keep the babies so anything i can do to help that? one guppy is fancy my other is feeder are the amount of fry different for each kind or no? and if in the future i allow onlymy fancy male to impregnate her will the chances of fancy babies with my feeder be high or low?on average i hear they will have like 20-60 babies can i just keep babies in the heated breeder tank or should i move them immediately out and into a separate tank?
can i keep the babies in the heated breeder if i take the moms out* i shudda wrote tht to make the last one make more sense
and will 3 weeks be long enough for them to grow and get there colors if they are in my breeder tank with a mix of high protein foods.with a baby fry liquid food in the begining
i have 9 female guppys(7 fancy 2 feeder) and 4 male guppys
Thanks in advance!
is ther anything i can do to prevent mom and the other guppy from eating the babies?
dads not in there just mom and i plan on taking her out after
the 9 females 4 males are in my 55 gallon tank with other fish
will stuff like unused candle holders and stuff be good enough as deco all my other deco is in my 55 gallon
Thanks so much for taking the time to read this all im definately going to pick the best answer i always do:)

I have had a figure 8 puffer for about a month now, and all he will eat is live ghost shrimp, feeder guppies, and frozen krill. I have tried everything else; daphnia, brine shrimp, blood worms, etc. Nothing works! he just turns his nose! Its so frustrating because not only are his favourite foods more expensive and more difficult to keep around, but I want to make sure he has a varied diet, but he does not agree with that! Does anyone know of anything else I can feed him, or any way I can make other foods more enticing to him? Thanks so much!
Oh, and I forgot, he also OCCASIONALLY will eat live snails.
If I breed guppies for him, should I breed fancy guppies or feeder guppies? (he enjoys both very much lol )

My fiance has setup another fish tank and she needs brine shrimp for feeding the fish she has. I was going to get her a big package of them off ebay, so my question is, if I get like a 50g bag, can i just hatch like a gram at a time? And what do I do with the others if so….thanks
